Abstract: A system and method for efficiently and safely installing a pipe liner is provided, as well as methods of using the same. The system and method for efficiently and safely installing, a pipe liner may provide an inverter configured to invert the pipe liner by introducing pressure into the pipe liner; provide a top roller; provide an assist system located between the inverter and the top roller, the assist system comprising: a main housing having a main housing top and a main housing bottom, and each of the main housing top and the main housing bottom having an opening; a first interior roller; a second interior roller; and a first motor; and feed the pipe liner onto the tarp roller, wherein the assist system feeds the pipe liner from the top roller to the inverter in an efficient and controller manner.

Abstract: A fluid bearing for use in turbomachinery including at least one bearing pad configured to be arranged about a rotating member of the turbomachinery. Each bearing pad includes an internal cooling opening defined in the bearing pad and an internal channel network defined in the bearing pad with at least one channel node in fluid communication with the internal cooling opening and at least two passageways in fluid communication with and extending from the channel node through the bearing pad. At least one of the passageways extends to an exterior surface of the bearing pad to define at least one cooling discharge opening.
